New Delhi, Dec 23: Already in troubled waters since the Supreme Court's possible perjury charge against him, an under-fire Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)
President Anurag Thakur said on Friday that a lot of things will change after January 2 or 3 when the apex court sits for the next hearing.

Asserting that such situations are a part and parcel of life, Thakur hoped everything will be clear by early next month.

"Everything will be clear by January 2 or 3, all we can understand we have gone through a lot of situations which is not in the interest of the cricketers and cricket
but that is part and parcel of life," the BJP Member of Parliament from Hamirpur in Himachal Pradesh, told reporters during the logo launch of the Delhi Sultans
franchise of the upcoming Pro Wrestling League (PWL).

"We have to face certain situations at some point of time, but I hope everything will be good. So lets wait till January 2 and 3."

The Supreme court in its hearing on December 15 had said that Thakur seemed to have "committed perjury" after it was informed that he had made a false statement on
asking the International Cricket Council (ICC) to clarify whether a recommendation made by the Justice R.M. Lodha committee amounted to interference in the board's
running.

Thakur, however preferred to remain tight-lipped on the matter, saying: "I think we should all wait for January 2 and 3. A lot of things will change post that."

Thakur also expressed his disappointment with the ICC for ignoring Indian Test skipper Virat Kohli to lead the "Test Team of the Year" and urged the global body to
change the time period for such calculations.

Hailing India's premier off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin for being named the ICC Cricketer of the Year and also the Test Player of the Year, Thakur said: "I am glad to
see R. Ashwin's performance has been considered and he has won the award and he is on top of the ICC Test bowler's and all-rounder's rankings too."

Commenting on his participation in the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) meeting despite the BCCI not being part of the ICC's Working Group, Thakur said no one can afford to
ignore the Indian board globally. "Nobody can deny or afford to leave India out of global cricket. If anyone has that in mind they should forget that."
